My product weekend #9 was relatively straightforward: I explored various AI tools to see what I could build.
Here's what I've planned
What I have done so far.
I included Zed AI, Cursor AI, and ChatGPT Canvas on my testing list. I decided to try all three tools on the first day.
Zed AI didn't seem to work well; it wasn't beginner-friendly and often broke what I was trying to build. ChatGPT Canvas is still not straightforward for local development, as I had to copy and test the code manually. However, Cursor AI proved the real deal, offering many features that made coding with AI seamless.
In the end, I used Cursor AI to build three prototypes. First, I created a Chrome extension that saves URLs as link cards in Trello. I had previously attempted this idea with FlutterFlow, but it didn't succeed. With Cursor AI, I built the prototype in just one hour and familiarized myself with how Cursor works.
Next, I developed an Adalo component that utilizes ChatGPT vision features, aligning with the product I have been working on lately. Although I didn't know how to implement things the Adalo way, I got some assistance and built the component to work exactly as I envisioned.
Lastly, despite having no knowledge of React, I created a sample Stripe app. This app displays a quick contact form while viewing a user profile within the Stripe Dashboard.
While working on these prototypes, a new idea popped up, and I plan to share it soon.
